Tommy Wiseau is an American director, actor, writer, and producer. He is famous for his film The Room (2003), which he also starred in. Its production was dramatized in the 2017 film The Disaster Artist (2017), which stars James Franco as Tommy.
Tommy has made references to his background that are probably factually incorrect, including his age and his family roots in Chalmette, Louisiana.
He is almost certainly a Polish immigrant. It is unclear when he came to the United States, but it was most likely after 1980.
